Voyager 2 Spacecraft Mission to Uranus, Neptune and Interstellar Space 1977 JPL NASA 4 pin set
Here is 4 pin set celebrating the Voyager 2 space mission launched in 1977.  These pins were not available for sale to the general public and were only given to JPL employees.   A friend of mine collected these while working at JPL.

The Voyager 2 spacecraft, which has been in operation since 1977 and is the only spacecraft to have ever visited Uranus and Neptune, has made its way to interstellar space, where its twin spacecraft, Voyager 1, has resided since August 2012. During its travels through the outer solar system, Voyager 2 visited all four gas giant planets, and also discovered and photographed many of the planets' moons.
The spacecraft's flyby of Neptune in 1989 set it on a course below the elliptic plane that eventually took it to interstellar space on November 5, 2018. In 1998, engineers switched off the spacecraft's nonessential instruments to conserve power. Data from at least some of the six instruments still in operation should be received until at least 2025.
Condition is very good with no scratches on the faces, few spots and marks on the back of two of the pins.
